The eighty monotype illustrations reproduced full-page and in full-color in this exquisitely beautiful book are based upon images from the artist's dream journals and his experiments with the subconscious.
A 4,500-word, epic poem composed impromptu by the artist accompanies his illustrations. The artwork, together with the poem, portrays the timelessness (acknowledging ties to antiquity) that permeates much of the dream imagery. The pictures portray the fragmented quality of dreams -- the difficulty remembering dreams in their entirety and
how easily they slip from our memory. Bennett's dream art has the appearance of ancient documents that are fragmented, weathered, and torn. The art reminds us that dreams are described in the most ancient stories, both religious and secular.
